About Me:
Electrical Engineer by trade, quit to Air Line Pilot then became a mil transport pilot than flew UAV's. Currently separated, now I want to get involved in the engineering aspect of this technology.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I used fly the MQ-1B "Predator" at Creech in the middle of "no where" Nevada. Now I want to do aerial photography with my own drone. I started Flytcam Studios in Albuquerque New Mexico. We are currently flying a Cinestar 8 with a 360 3 axis gimbal and a DJI F550 Flamewheel with APM 2.5
